Out of curiosity, how did the color timing of the 35mm print compare to the Blu-ray?

It was actually very close. Don't know where the print came from though. FWIW, they had a handful of shots that looked 'reddish,' like they spliced a few shots in from a print that was missing one of the matrices. Weird.

(Also, from what I understand, the Blu-Ray disc doesn't have the 'yellow' problems found on the last DVD - I can't personally confirm because I haven't compared the two myself, but screen caps were put up on DVD Beaver.)

The print I saw in 2005 was awful. Pinkish and Beat To Hell. The bluray colors definitely look better but that's only an illustration of the caveats inherent in celluloid.
